Please accept my sincere regrets for the loss of your love one. Revelation 21:4 says that God will wipe every tear from our eyes and death and pain will be no more. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your recent loss. It is a very difficult time for those close to Howard. May you find some comfort in the words of Nahum 1:7 which reads: "Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of those seeking refuge in him."
Yes, we can totally rely on our Loving God.
He also has made the sure promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:9-11, 29, Isaiah 55:11).
Then death will be gone forever (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3,4)
